High Surf Advisory issued March 21 at 4:17AM ChST until March 22 at 4:00PM ChST by NWS Tiyan GU
* WHAT...Large breaking waves of 7 to 10 feet and dangerous rip
currents.
* WHERE...For the High Surf Advisory, north facing reefs of the
Marianas. For the High Rip Current Risk, north and east facing
reefs.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM ChST Sunday.
* IMPACTS...Dangerous swimming and surfing conditions and
localized beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best
swimmers away from shore into deeper water.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Elevated northeast to east swell, reinforced
by diminishing long-period north to northeast swell produced by
distant low pressure systems, will continue to produce hazardous
surf along north facing reefs, and a high risk of rip currents
along north and east facing reefs through at least Sunday
afternoon. Swells, surf, and rip current risk will then briefly
diminish, increasing once more through Monday as the northeast
swell is reinforced by a building trade-wind surge. This may lead
to a reissuance or extension of hazards.
Rip currents will be life threatening. Inexperienced swimmers
should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.
If caught in a rip current, relax and float. Don't swim against
the current. If able, swim in a direction following the
shoreline. If unable to escape, face the shore and call or wave
for help.
